Nebraska Community Blood Bank Needs Donations

09/01/2018

The winter season is usually tough, but severe winter storms have been making it even harder, forcing the Red Cross to cancel blood drives throughout the region. More than 150 blood drives were forced to cancel because of it, causing over 5,500 blood and platelet donations to go uncollected.

January is National Blood Donor Month, and Central Blood Bank is putting out a call to donors to help save lives during this time of extreme need.

The Red Cross says there's an urgent need now for blood and platelets of all types, although platelets and type O, B and AB blood are at more of a critical juncture.

The agency also needs type O negative blood, which is a universal blood type that anyone can receive. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease may all require blood to help save their lives. She says blood is a perishable product, and you can donate every 56 days.

Eligible individuals are urged to schedule a blood or platelet donation today by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-733-2767).

"It's an important blood type for emergency situations", Lewis said. Students can donate once they're 16 years old and a lot of blood comes from high schools. Daily, the organization collects more than 13,000 blood donations for patients at 2,600 US hospitals.
